Role Overview
d-Matrix is looking for a Senior HR Generalist with deep compensation and data expertise to help us make sound, defensible pay decisions in a highly competitive market for AI and technical talent. This is an individual contributor role that will own the analytical backbone of our compensation and people data — market benchmarking, salary structures, internal equity, and merit/bonus modeling — while also supporting broader People Operations. This is a hands-on generalist role rather than a pure Total Rewards specialist position: you'll bring real analytical depth to compensation and reporting and flex into core HR ops work as needed, with complex executive and sales compensation design handled by specialized outside expertise. You'll partner closely with HRBPs, Business Leaders, Talent Acquisition, Global Mobility and Immigration, Employee Relations, and Legal to deliver efficient, data-informed HR service.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years in HR Operations, with meaningful, hands-on compensation experience — not limited to participating in an annual comp cycle.
• Direct experience with market benchmarking/survey data, salary structure design, job matching/leveling, internal equity analysis, and merit/bonus modeling.
• Solid understanding of equity compensation.
• Strong Excel and analytical skills, with the ability to build models rather than just interpret them.
• Experience with HRIS/ATS systems (e.g., ADP WFN, Ashby) supporting data-driven people operations.

Responsibilities

• Lead market benchmarking and survey data analysis to keep salary ranges and job structures competitive and defensible.
• Own job matching and leveling, ensuring consistency and internal equity across the organization.
• Build and maintain compensation models for merit cycles, bonus pools, and promotions, translating data into clear, sound recommendations.
• Support offer construction and internal equity analysis for new hires, promotions, and internal moves, including equity compensation.
• Build and maintain HR reporting and dashboards (e.g., headcount, comp analytics, turnover), using HR data to identify trends, risks, and process gaps.
• Own core People Operations processes — onboarding, offboarding, employee records, HR documentation, payroll coordination, and benefits administration.
• Serve as HR systems owner (ADP WFN, Ashby, Lattice), ensuring data accuracy and integrity, and supporting integrations, audits, and troubleshooting.
• Partner cross-functionally on HR service delivery, and maintain HR policies, procedures, and SOPs in response to regulatory changes.
